Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: The broken past

Cassius and the other quantums saw the castle which was at their back.As they were walking back to the town, they saw the barren lands in their way.

"Cassius do you remember this place" Sam asked(the sixth quantum) with a sad tone.

"How could I ever forget it?"

Cassius think of his past events, where he was living happily with his mother and where he played with the other guys in the town.He thought of his old days.

He took a deep breath and did a 'sigh'

"Why? What happened?" Asked Ethan

"it's just our olden days, this is the place where we born"

(Pointing the barren land near the castle)

Cassius remembered his past,

This barren land was once a home to a living community. The whole place was covered with farmlands.

Cassius thaught of his mother, when he was a little boy his father died, and he lived with his mom. His mother did some small works in the farmlands. They lived peacefully until the the portal demon realm got connected.

The entry was near their hometown and demons were torturing the humans. A high class demon entered the town and devoured the people.

Cassius went to the nearby farmland and coming back to his home, he heard the cries of people and ran towards the town.

He ran to his home to see his mother, his mom flowed with blood as Cassius seeing it his eyes filled with tears, he hugged his mother and started to cry.(The blood flows through the leg of Cassius, his eyes filled with tears and anger)

Then the survivors of the incident were evacuated into a safe place.

(Where the seven quantums heading towards)

Cassius wanted to avenge for his mother's death, he trained hardly and in return for his hardwork one of the quantum fragment was given to him by the majestic creature.

The seven quantums reached the town, all the people were waiting for them, Sam say that, they succeeded in clearing the first division of the castle.

(The people filled with joy and shared their happiness with each other)

But one women was standing quiet in the joyful crowd.

"Where is my daughter?" She asked

The all other quantums lowered their heads and showed the fragment of fifth quantum(Julia) and gave Julia's ring to her mother.

The women was stunned to see the ring and the fragment of Julia. Tears roll down from her eyes. Everyone felt sad that they lost one of the quantums.

When the crowd start dismissing, Cassius made a announcement that, there will be a contest to select the next fifth quantum tomorrow at the Cervial battle field. The preparation will be done tonight.

"Fearless hearts and minds can compete for the fragment of the fifth quantum" Cassius said.

On the cervial battle field twelve people were appeared to get the fragment of the fifth quantum.

Among them were, two contestants were expected to win by the people Liam and Ryder.

Six contestants were from the main town and the other six contestants were from the nearby villages and sub towns.

Liam was sitting alone in the corner of the colloseum. He was a calm and generous person, he tried to become a quantum but he failed, now he got another chance to prove himself.

The contest between the twelve contestants was announced.

"The battle has three rounds, the first round is "the demon trial".

"Where a higher class demon (A-class demon) will be released from the cage who defeat it, will get the fragment."

"If all contestants killed the demon, the time you took to defeat the demons will be taken as consideration."

"The eight selected people will move to round two while others get eliminated, the details of round two and three will be announced at the end of round one" said Cassius.

"The trial start's now" said Cassius

Each one of the contest was put into a cage, where they should fight the demons, face to face.

Ryder and Liam killed the demon in a minute, Cassius was surprised to see them killing a high rank demon without superpower.

But there was a other one who killed the demon before them, she is a swordswoman from the town her name was Luna.

With Luna, Lyam and Ryder and other five contestants were advanced to the next round, four of the contestants were eliminated.

The first round was over, but the true test had just begun. The contestants would soon face a great challenge ahead.
